Swapping water for cooled fruit tea is a small trick with a big effect. The tea adds a hibiscus and berry aroma, while avocado and banana keep the smoothie soft and creamy.

Avocado Berry Smoothie with Fruit Tea
Creamy and fruity, with a tart hibiscus note from the tea and mellow banana and blueberry.
Using cold brewed or cooled tea as the liquid is a simple way to add flavour to a smoothie without sugar or juice. Most fruit tea blends are based on hibiscus, rosehip and dried apple, which give a tart, berry like taste and a reddish colour. Here that matches the blueberries nicely. Avocado and half a banana make it creamy. Brew the tea the evening before and keep it in the fridge, and the smoothie is ready in two minutes the next morning.
No, let it cool completely; hot tea spoils the texture and warms the avocado.
Classic fruit tea blends are made without tea leaves and are caffeine free; check the label.
Yes, it contains only fruit and tea.
